she gave her name. Sha said it was her own fault <c thatshewasstaiidingthere,a_dwentupstairs, blie « had been listening to a boarder telling a story, w She returned to tho bar to gat a book.- U His Worship could not see that the evidence Vi proved the information. It was-true that the Wmaia was within the bar, but it waa not M Bhowu that she had charge of the bar, or was Li employed in it .in any other manner. T-he case c: would he dismissed. , S Brbackes of the Sea - fisheries Act.— ij; Amelia Bilson was charged with having, on tho > 24th inst, at Dnnedin, exposed for sale in her ~ shop a quantity of oystera taken out of season.— « Mr C. Mouat appeared for defendant, and pleaded & riot guilty. He was prepared to admit the facts, s< but argued that the law as it stood did not pro- <J hibit pcraons from selling oysters out of season, n The prosecution was under the act of 1894, and ci there was uo close season during which the sale was prohibited.—lCvidence wa3 given by Inspector £ Hanson.—Mr Mouat said the point ho wished to .i----raise was that the act of 1894 repealed the act of * 1892. Under the act of 1594 the Govornor-in- <- Council had power to make regulations and rnles , « with regard to oysters and other things, but no j ■* regulations had been madewith re^srd to oysters. 1 *■ The Govemor-in-Council had not exercised his i power.—Mr Carew said the whole question was | » whether it was a close season or not, and whether I » the regulation was kept alive by the act of 189*. — ° Defendant was finally fined 5s and costs (7s).—— * George William Donaldson was charged with g having, on the 22nd inst., a red cod of the weight >- of 4oz in his possession.—Mr Moore appeared for I defendant, aud said that defendant bought the ■ * flsh in the open market at the railway station.— ! ■Mr Carew: Are you not disclosing another J I offence ?—Mr ' Mooro (continuing) said that ' defendaut subsequently exposed the flsh for sale 1 !in the oniiuary way of business. —Fined Ss ana c costs.-—The same defendant was further charged ~ with having in hi 3 possession a quantity of -i oystars iakeu out of season. —Mr Moore again appsarad for defendant, and said the cass was ' exactly similar to the last.—Fined Es and costs ' (7s). William Hook pleaded, guilty, through ignorance, to a charge of selling to G. W. Donaldson a quantity of oysters taken in tho close , J se-sson.—Fined 5a and costs (7s), ten days beins | • allowed to pay. George Fuller, Alfred Fuller, .» and John Cunningham pluaded guilty to haviug < •in their possession, on the 24th mat., a quantity ' of oysters taken in the close season. —Inspector Har.son said the defendants wore out in a boat, , 'and when they came ashore they had a bag of . oysters with them. They had not been up bsfore j ■ for this offence, but had been up for having i : under-sized flounders in their possession.—Fined j : 5s each and costs (3s Sd each). ■ • A Disorderly Trio.—William Devinie, Tho«. 1 Wakinßon, and Archibald M'Donald were oharged 1 : with having, on the 10th inst., damaged a railway j ; carriage by breaking a window valued os.—_r i Mouac appeared for Devinie and Wilkinson, and ; Mr Macdonald for the other accused, all i pleading not guilty.—Sergeant O'Neill stated j that on Saturday night, the lOtli inst., the defendants were passengers by the tram ! leaving Dunedin for the couth at 11.20. Soon j after the train left Dunedin, Devinie and Wilkin- , son commenced shoving each other about. They i were spoken to. by the guard and desisted fora 1 time, bnt on getting to Oaversham they com- 1 mencert again. They were somewhat the worse for | drink. The guard reasoned with them, and fcbes' • said "We will keep quiet. We will sit down and j sing a song." The train entered the tuunel and ] the guard heard the sinm-ing of glass, and lie •, afterwards found that a window in tho cairiageha>. 1 been broken. It would be proved that M'-onala ! stood up and challenged anyone to figlit. Wij- j kioson accepted the challenge, and they feh , against one of the passengers aud forced him up j against the window, with the result that; it ni ! broken. At the cattle yards Devinie and Wilkin- . son got out. The guard was on the platform end Devinia made a rush at him imd tried to get ho!« I of his kg, but the guard got clear of him. He ! made a second attempt, bnt was graspea j by ono of his compiuiioiis and nulled ; back. If that had not been done he would \ have succeeded in catching hold of the guard a ! leg, aad it w_ difficult to say what might have 1 happened, as tho train was moving at the time. ; M'ootia!d was drunk, and took part, more or less, j in the disturbance.—Evidance was given by Georjp j Course, guard, who said there were about 25 people j in the csirriagn; Andrew Ularkson, porter; Joseph 1 Yolenski, farm labourer; Samuel Fenton, and Constable O'Snllivan.—Mr Mouat said the story j of defendants, which wouM be corroborated by j four or five witnesses, was that they got into the j train in a body. Thoy were returning home after i a Saturday evening in town and started singinga , song. Some were standing up, and when the train \ . moved they began rollimr übout the carriage in a j "lark." The real difficulty commeuced whsn 1 M'Donald came up from his corner aud started to catch Devinie round the aeck and catch held of , ■ AViUcinson.—Mr Macdonald said his friend at- j tempted to put the origin of tha whole disturbance j on M'Donald, and the only evidence to connect him with the matter was that of the boy Fenton, who i was sitting in the corner. Mr Volenski, who was I botter situated to see what took place, had aaid \ that M'Donald aat peaceably and quietly. The j whole evidence showed that Wilkinson ami j Devinie were pulling each other about and 1 ■ making a disturbance from the very beginning. Counsel hid no donbt that M'Donald was going '■ up in the direction of tha others, and when they ' saw him they dragged him into the pushing j ' about, and that was how the pane of glass was i 1 broken.— Evidence was given by Thomas Wilkin- j 1 son (ironworker), William Devinie (fellmonßer), . Lewis Mathesou ' (labourer), Charles Samson (slaughterman), Thomas Scott (fellmonger), hetsr Bryce (coal carter), and Richard Irvine (farm labourer —Mr Macdonald called Archibald M'Donald (one of the accused), and after lie had given evidence the three accused were further charged with behaving in a violent manner, to the annoyance of others, in a railway carriage. Jl'Donald was further charged with being drunk in the railway carriage.—Mr Carew, with regard to the last charge, decided to convict and nne ' M'Donald 20s and costs (7a). He proposed to deal 1 with the other charges under that of behaving in 1 a violent manner in the railway carriage. Thers was not the slishtest doubt that Devinie and ' Wilkinson had behaved in a riotous and violent 1 rnauner from almost the starting of the train, '- and falsehoods had been told in the court to try to • shield them. If Deviuie had effected his purpose \ in tryine to kick the brakesman or in pulling the ' guard off the carriage as he intended tne conse--1 queuces would have been very serious to him. ! Fortunately he had.not succeeded in doing so. He would be fined £3 and costs (£1 5s lOd). Wilkinson's conduct had not been so bad, thoueh bad enough. He would bo fined _2 and costs (AI 5s lOd) The evidence waa contradictory as io tha ' part M'Donald took with regard to the annoying ' behaviour, and his Worship wa3 not satisfied that it was Ins tkuli that the window " was broken. He thought it was the 3 other two men's fault. The case would be di«----3 loiseed.—ln reply to an application from _r ': Mouat and Mr Macdonnid for time in which to 1 I pay the fines, Mr Carew said he did not sco why *i he should awut time. He did not see a way to ' do so. The offence was oa« that wanted puttiug ' down. The accused deserved no sympathr at all, '• and what made it worae was that the cases n.»u r been defended by false evidence. c Ilt.tkeating A HoRSB,—Ah Jim was, for ill. a treating a horse by working it while it had sores a on it fiued 10s, and costs. Mr Milne appeared for ■: ! the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to ■* I Animals.
